This reads to as pure AI slop to me, and Pangram agrees (100% AI).

To use one of the idioms that give this impression, this is not just knee-jerk whining. It's material to what the article is about. If you're going to raise this topic, be a human and say something constructive. An AI generated ragebait whinge about ragebait is ragebait squared with a heaped serving of hypocrisy on top. This exemplifies everything it complains about.

I suppose there's a certain novelty in reading AI argue against AI personhood.

Yeah, for practical use I'm more interested in the author's sqlelf tool for querying actual ELF binaries than the use of sqlite for the runnable binary itself. The latter is super cool but sounds like too much of a performance hit to be practical.

The whole thing is brilliant anyway. Up with this sort of thing!

OpenAI has 4,500 employees and a post-money valuation of $852 billion at its last funding round. You'd think they could get someone who specialises in writing MacOS apps to write their MacOS app.

Dammit! This renders it completely unusable.

I buy directly from AliExpress all the time. I wouldn't install their app.

None of that makes any sense whatsoever.

In other words, it hasn't shipped.

The bun rewrite is looked to as proof that this sort of full-throttle vibecoding is the future of software development, at least for large porting projects like this one, and for many people on this site that is a high stakes question.

To prove that, a proper release is needed, and the Bun community needs to adopt it. There's a huge partisan eagerness to declare the Claude Code release or anecdotal experiences on the canary as victory, but the viability of 1.4 hasn't been demonstrated until it has been released and adopted by the bulk of the community.

There isn't actually any hurry on that. Nobody needs Bun 1.4 tomorrow. It's Jarred that keeps saying it'll be released tomorrow, while the code churns at an astonishing rate (see below). People with a skeptical outlook will inevitably suspect that he doesn't have confidence in the release and is struggling to acquire it.

Github insights for the last week:

> Excluding merges, 57 authors have pushed 349 commits to main and 6892 commits to all branches.

> On main, 2026 files have changed and there have been 189,502 additions and 133,836 deletions

> It's insane to make that kind of claim without backing it up.

A bizarre accusation. It's a fork of Bun that says they removed the dead code. All you have to do to see the diffs is look at its history. Most of the commits are code removal.

It's a fork of Zig bun, though, not Rust, so hardly relevant to the AI argument.

That was 11,000 lines of dead code removed from pre-rust Bun. In a million lines of vibed Rust Bun I'd be astonished if there was a mere 11,000 unused LoC. Noticing unused code isn't a strength of LLMs in my experience.

I do. It's easy, fun and they're nicer (lower water content) than supermarket ones. You don't even need a garden. Can recommend.

Depends how you think. I found Strang impenetrable and Axler simple and lucid. Some people seem to find abstract vector spaces weird and unmotivated without doing a load of stuff with lists and grids of numbers first. I find determinants weird and unmotivated without learning exterior algebra first. I wish Axler had been my first course.

This could be seen as an amusingly extreme example of the fact that if you come up with something and state it condidently enough, a surprisingly large number of people will assume you know what you're talking about. Presumably, though, you just mistook the unfiltered (trained on the full data) response for the "Little Learner" one.

Much appreciated, and it is indeed very interesting!
